Episode 22: Switzerland
In All of Us Command is a new podcast where we learn about countries and their national anthems. We will be drawing each new country out of a hat and taking turns researching them. For Episode 22, we're researching Switzerland and their anthem Swiss Psalm.
For episode 22, Aaron is taking us on a tour of the first country on this podcast that he's been to with our episode on Switzerland. Learn how all these European cultures bumped up against each other in the Alps and the farming communities that grew into a nation, then be disappointed at how this nation with humble beginnings colludes with fascist governments. It's a roller coaster.
